2026

Blog

I was checking the same six tabs all day out of habit so I built one page with all of it on it, and it only took a couple of evenings.

Every process in front of my websites is a Go binary now, from the tunnel to the web server to the sites themselves, and the whole stack runs on a desktop I already owned for a few dollars a month in power.

A drop-in status line for Claude Code that shows your 5-hour usage quota, context window, working directory with git branch, and the time, all out of one bash file, plus a quick walk through how it works.

A second pass on the Rust port of my blog, where I dropped the chromium PDF subprocess for embedded Typst. Some notes on axum, comrak, minijinja and Typst.

I rewrote this blog from Flask to Rust over an afternoon. The result is a single 3.5 MB binary that uses 14x less memory and serves 10x more requests per second.

The shared cache argument for Google Fonts died in 2020 and the privacy argument was never great. Self-hosting with @fontsource is a one line change.

I let an AI port my blog from Django to Flask and it quietly moved every post URL, which I didn't catch for about a week.

I ran webpack on every Django project I had for years but in 2026 I use Vite instead, with no wrapper package involved, and this is the whole setup I use.

Django's default SQLite settings are fine for development but will hit "database is locked" errors under any concurrency. This is the config I run in production.

How I set up and manage Python projects in 2026 with uv and ruff, which is two tools and one config file instead of the pile I used to keep around.
